if you're tired of using the same old analog drums or south-american percussion samples, have a listen to what fm synthesis can do for your drum parts. long cherished by monolake aka robert henke, it left a big mark on the minimal techno genre. but it can do much more than just those high-pitched, eighth-note toms with tons of swing.

leeds based label 2pin records released my remix of d'tolio's track "extraopus" awhile ago. i have a feeling it got a bit lost due to the summer break, but i could be wrong. and nowadays, when most tracks get nicely added to an artist's beatport list, it can always get a second life when the artist gets some attention.
